About the Item
Winter Landscape at Dusk captures the quiet enchantment of a winter valley under the dimming light of evening. The scene is likely set in Dalarna, the artist’s home region in Sweden, blanketed in snow and suffused with the gentle glow of twilight. Schultzberg renders the fading daylight with delicate skill: cool blue and violet tones envelop the landscape as dusk falls, yet a faint afterglow persists along the horizon.
His brushwork is confident yet nuanced, suggesting the crisp texture of snow and the translucence of ice. Across the valley the last rays of sun might catch on a cloud or hilltop, a subtle glimpse of sun that imparts a touch of warmth amid the cold. This harmonious treatment of light and colour imbues the painting with a serene, reflective atmosphere, evoking nature’s tranquillity at day’s end.
Like many of Schultzberg’s landscapes, Winter Landscape at Dusk was likely painted en plein air, a practice he embraced to capture authentic lighting and atmosphere. Contemporaries noted his dedication to working directly from nature even in Sweden’s harsh winters. Born in the town of Falun in Dalarna, Schultzberg often drew inspiration from the surrounding countryside. The valley depicted here, with its snow-laden evergreens and twilight sky, reflects locales he knew well. Schultzberg’s choice of a winter dusk motif speaks to this context. It echoes the era’s fascination with the poetic melancholy of Nordic nature, while also displaying the artist’s personal intimacy with the terrain of his native province.
Anshelm Schultzberg received an academic art education in Stockholm, where he studied at the Technical School and then at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1882 to 1886. Even as a student he showed promise: an autumn landscape he exhibited earned him the Royal Medal in 1886. This distinction enabled him to travel abroad as a stipendiary. In the late 1880s and early 1890s he undertook formative study trips to France and Italy, painting in locales such as Picardy, Corsica, Capri and Naples. These travels exposed him to contemporary movements in European art. Schultzberg’s early work had adhered to the detailed realism of the Düsseldorf school, but abroad he absorbed plein-air techniques and Impressionist influences. Gradually, his style evolved to balance academic realism with a looser, light-infused brushwork. He retained a realist’s devotion to nature’s truth, yet increasingly strove to capture fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. Critics and peers came to admire how his winter scenes, in particular, combined truthful detail with an almost impressionistic luminosity. Schultzberg thus emerged as a leading figure in Swedish landscape painting, embodying both the continuity of the 19th-century realist tradition and the freshness of fin-de-siècle Impressionism.
By the turn of the 20th century, Schultzberg was celebrated as a master interpreter of the Nordic winter. He specialised in Swedish landscapes, often serene snowscapes with low sunlight, that resonated with the national romantic taste for evocative local scenes. Winter Landscape at Dusk is a quintessential example: it portrays a familiar Swedish winter setting, yet elevates it with a sense of timeless, wistful beauty. Schultzberg’s art found broad acclaim in his lifetime. He won an honourable mention in the 1889 Paris Salon and a medal at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, among other international honours. Such recognition abroad underscored the universal appeal of his scenes of Swedish nature. At home, he attained high status in artistic circles. In 1900 he was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, and he later served as a commissioner for Swedish art exhibitions at several world’s fairs, including those in St. Louis, Rome and San Francisco. These roles reflect how Schultzberg was regarded not only as a painter of merit but also as an ambassador of Swedish art during the early 20th century.
Today, Anshelm Schultzberg’s work is held in numerous museum collections, attesting to his lasting significance. Nationalmuseum in Stockholm acquired one of his Dalarna winter scenes as early as 1893, and other paintings by Schultzberg reside in the Göteborgs Konstmuseum, Kalmar Konstmuseum and regional institutions across Sweden. His oeuvre is also represented internationally, with works in museums as far afield as Budapest, Minneapolis and Venice.

This stunning winter landscape by Mauritz Lindström captures the serene yet striking beauty of a snow-laden scene illuminated by the warm glow of twilight. The interplay between the soft, colorful hues of the evening sky and the intricate, frost-covered branches creates an almost three-dimensional effect, drawing the viewer into the composition. The detailed rendering of the snow and the trees evokes a profound sense of coldness, making the atmosphere almost palpable. Measuring an impressive 101 x 152 cm (39 3/4 x 59 7/8 in) with the frame, this large-scale work is a testament to Lindström's mastery of light and texture.

A Winter Landscape by Swedish Artist Rikard Lindström
Located in Stockholm, SE
Depicting a winter wonderland, this piece mesmerizes the viewer with its turquoise sky - a bold and unique choice that draws the eyes upwards. But the narrative is more profound. Set against this sky is a distant, rugged stone hill, standing as a testament to the timeless beauty of nature. A few trees benethe the hill, gracefully blanketed with snow. The snow itself is no ordinary white, but a mix of pink and blue shimmers, giving the piece a more interesting quality.
More intriguing are the tracks left in the snow. Whose might they be? An animal, perhaps? Or did the artist himself tread this frozen landscape, leaving behind a subtle signature? Such is the mystery of Lindström's work.
Rikard Magnus Lindström (1882-1943) was not just a painter but a storyteller, deeply rooted in his Swedish heritage. He's best known for his paintings of archipelago scenes, where the tranquil and tempestuous moods of the sea often play central characters. Born in Stockholm, Lindström's journey into the art world began at the Konstakademien in Stockholm, and his passion took him to Copenhagen and Paris. Throughout his life, Lindström's restless spirit saw him wander, capturing the diverse landscapes of Stockholm's archipelago, Västkusten, Åland, and notably, Lofoten. His affinity for portraying the vast expanse of the sea, often with sailing vessels in the backdrop, is legendary.
Lindström's colors were described as "powerful yet harmonious," and this piece is no exception. The juxtaposition of the turquoise sky with the shimmering snow showcases his masterful play with colors.
A member of the younger generation of the Konstnärsförbundet, Lindström was greatly influenced by the older members, particularly by Karl Nordström's national-romantic paintings. Besides painting, Lindström had a flair for writing and was a popular contributor to Dagens Nyheter, often penning articles and notes in Morgonbris.
However, beneath the vivacious, nature-loving exterior was a man of depth and complexity, as his ex-wife, Martha Rydell-Lindström, has depicted in her book. He was a lover of life, but his nature held layers of vulnerability and tenderness.
Today, this winter landscape stands as a tribute not just to Lindström's artistic genius but to the very essence of the man himself. Embrace the opportunity to own a piece of Swedish art history, painted by an artist whose legacy continues to inspire.
